Highlights
'ET's Fingers' (Crassula ovata): A monstrose sport of the much-loved Jade Plant. In warm climates (zone 9+) it can grow outdoors as a small shrub, but it also really shines as a low maintenance indoor plant, because it tolerates low-light conditions. When grown indoors, this plant stays small and its woody branches even lend themselves to bonsai pruning.
The tubular, variable leaves of 'ET's Fingers' have round, suction cup-like tips that turn red in direct sun. Jade plants can bloom in winter with impressive clusters of delicate white flowers.
'ET's Fingers' Jade tolerates extended drought and should be kept in containers with drainage holes and gritty, well-draining soil. Water deeply, but only when the soil is completely dry. Once your plant is mature, it can easily be propagated from stem cuttings (more info).
Crassula can show tiny white or black dots on their leaves. These are healthy, water-transferring pores called "hydathodes" and not a sign of disease.

We want to first preface this by saying that bonsai is an art form. How you decide to shape or trim your bonsai is up to you and will be informed by how you want your plant to look.
First, plant the Jade Plant in a shallow pot, about 3"-4" deep, that has a drainage hole. We highly recommend using this Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix as soil. Aim to grow it in partial sun. Only water if the soil is completely dry and the leaves feel flexible. When you do water, deeply drench it until water runs out the pot's drainage hole. Potentially, support the main stem with a skewer.
After about a year in the shallow pot, it's time for the first trim. It's preferable to trim in the spring when your plant is actively growing. Be very aggressive with your pruning. What you're looking for with your first trim is, essentially, to turn your plant into a twig. You'll remove most of the foliage, just be careful not to remove it all. Wherever you prune, the plant will fill that spot with even more foliage. Use this to your advantage by heavily… See full answer »

The more tube like leaves tend to be the younger growth. The flattened leaves tend to be more mature. However, many of these jade cultivars are variable in their leaf shapes so it's hard to know what yours will look like once mature. A plant that consistently has more tube shaped leaves is gollum jade, which you can find at the link below.

It's possibly a healthy response to sun, but if the yellow leaves feel at all mushy, this is a sign of rot.The article linked below will tell you how to treat a succulent with rotten, yellow leaves.

As far as the Jade Plants we sell are concerned, they can all be grown indoors.
Crassula watering is pretty normal for succulents. Soak the soil and then don't water it again until the soil totally dries out and the leaves just start to feel flexible. No need to water much in winter. These plants are very forgiving and shouldn't give you any trouble. I hope this helps!

Succulents are adapted to dry environments so they tend to succumb to rot in enclosed, non-draining terrariums. It is challenging but possible to grow them in open terrariums. You can find tips to make it work at the link below.

Crassula ovata Jade Plants can cause some digestive issues when consumed, so to be on the conservative side, we do not consider any Crassula to be pet-safe.
